This title starts with an introduction that puts Wellington's walking attractions in context - from the vibrancy of the central city to the quiet of a forest-filled valley. The author's knowledge of ongoing conservation efforts in the region give an added interest to the 23 recreational walks described. Each walk offers clear directions, plus details of relevant public transport, refreshment stops and other attractions along the way. Also included is a history of both Maori and European settlement of the area, and some of the flora and fauna to be found en route. The walks covered include historic city tours, wildlife sanctuaries, coastal wildernesses and some of Wellington's lesser-known scenic attractions.

Great Resource,

This review is from: Walking Wellington (Walking (Struik)) (Paperback)
This book has been so valuable to me when planning outings in the greater Wellington region. I take it along with me on walks too.It is very well organised with clear information about what to expect on each walk, as well as interesting history and nature insights. Great maps too, which I find clearer than the "official" ones sometimes available. Good variety of tracks from all around the region, including the central city. This is good for visitors to the city as well as locals.
